Town centre spruce-up under way
Building: The construction site of the Lode Lane
toilet upgrade in Cromwell.
It's begun . . . sort of.
Cromwell Town Centre's face lift is under
way with new toilets being built at Lode
Lane. However, although the new facility
will be integrated into the $2.8 million town
centre re-development, the $327,000 plus
GST project is to be paid for by additional
funding from district rates rather than the
Cromwell ward rates. Central Otago
district property and facilities manager
Mike Kerr said this was because its main
users would be travellers from outside the
area rather than locals.
The facilities, with five unisex toilets, with
two for disabled users and big enough for
travellers with luggage, were expected to be
in use by September 28.
Designed to improve Lode Lane's appear-
ance, the project would also include
construction of a new bus shelter, and
replacement of an old wooden storage
compound with a concrete pad, and
installation of a drink fountain at the bus
stop, Mr Kerr said.
Landscaping would start when the toilet
block was finished, to integrate with plans
to revitalise the cafe strip area and mall.
